DicksonOne v1.3.1

08/29/2018

The release focused heavily on the process of creating alarm templates and alarms. This is an interface change only and the underlying logic for those hasn’t changed as alarms still process in the way that they used to. The new processes should be clearer ultimately leading to a more successful setup and promoting the use of time-saving features like the contact book and notification policies.
